ausmini :: View topic - Disc Brake Drive Flange Seals

Ok, I did a bit of a search and looked on Minisport for the sealing ring. I see its just an insert which sits against the drive flange. Obviously the seal runs on the outside of the ring.

Its clear now.

cheers

I haven't played with front drum CVs since the mid nineties!

Thanks John, yes they are. Not expensive either. I reckon I will stop in on my way to Canberra next Friday and pick a pair up with some bearing kits as well.

Have you got them in stock?

If you are going to Johhs after lunch time , I will try and be there to catch up and have a chat with you Mick

After taking apart an ancient set of Cooper Discs, I noticed there were two different seal types used. One is the usual seal, with the sealing edge running on the drive flange. The second type uses a stranger set up to me. The seal has a metal insert (pictured) pressed into a brass ring the hub which runs outside a metal ring pressed onto the drive flange. Can anyone tell me about this seal? Is this a long forgotten original style of seal?

In the photo at least one of them is fairly worn, and I would advise replacing it as This helps set the pre load on Your bearings Also Your drive flange has bad wear marks where the bearings are fitted You will have to remedy that for sure
